Endorsed by Neil Gaiman and Greer Gilman, this new edition of
Sylvia Townsend Warner's final collection of short stories brings
her fantasy writing to a new readership. Originally published in
The New Yorker, and in book form in 1977 these sixteen sly and
enchanting stories of Elfindom show Warner's consummate mastery of
realist fantasy that recalls the success of her first novel, the
witchcraft classic Lolly Willowes (1926). Warner explores the
morals, domestic practices, politics and passions of the Kingdoms
of Elfin by following their affairs with mortals, and their daring
flights across the North Sea. The Kingdoms of Broceliande in
France, Zuy in the Low Countries, Gedanken in Austria and Blokula
in Lappland entertain Ambassadors, hunt with wolves and rear
changelings for the courtiers' amusement. The fairy ruling classes
are charming and insolent, and all levels of fairy society are
heartless, in human terms. But love and hate strike at fairies of
all ranks, as do poverty, abandonment and the passions of the
heart. Enter Elfindom with care.
